Notes from Social Good Summit Cebu 2012 #SGSCebu

Here are some quotable quotes and some notes I was able to take down from the recently concluded 2012 Social Good Summit Cebu last September 22, 2012 held at the Marcelo Fernan Press Center Lahug. As it appears, I'm not good at taking notes using a digital device so I missed a lot of things.


"CBSi ActNow Campaign" by Jaysee Pingkian

• If you are passionate about something, it will integrate in your lifestyle. 
• You can be your won niche. 
• Tweet something good, post something good, talk something good; the butterfly effect of positivity. 
• Influence others by being AWESOME. 
• It’s never too late to be an architect of change. The best time is always now. 
• Do what you love. Do what is right and do it with all your heart.
